Perhaps useful: My team member is saying that "We don’t capture the ‘invoice.created’ event, only ‘invoice.payment_succeeded’"
Is this fine/expected for subscription renewals? Or should we also look for invoice.created events for X reason?

Hi there! I'll be with you shortly; the server is quite busy. Sorry for the wait
silent shard
No worries, take your time 🙏
hollow mist
Okay, thank you for waiting
So, you're asking why, when a Subscription cycles, does the Invoice remain in a 'draft' state for a certain period of time?
silent shard
No worries! And yes that is correct. According to the docs the invoice should finalize in an hour: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/overview#invoice-lifecycle
However, in our scenario, the invoice has been in a draft state since approx 19 hours ago, and it states "This draft invoice was generated by a subscription. It can be edited until it's automatically finalised on 9 February 2025."
The issue is that this is a subscription which is supposed to renew every day. Meaning, 19 hours ago, the payment/renewal attempt was supposed to happen

Interesting, this may be the first daily Subscription I have ever seen. Let me look at this Subscription
Still trying to figure out why this might be happening
silent shard
All right, please let me know should you require any info from my end
hollow mist
thank you but I think the relevant Subscription is enough
alright, this is because we didn't receive a 200 to invoice.created for this Subscription's Invoice
silent shard
Understood, so we're required to listen/respond to the invoice.created event for it to finalize
hollow mist
If you would like it to finalize in ~an hour, yes
This Invoice will finalize eventually
silent shard
Perfect, that's all I need to know for now. Many thanks for the excellent assistance! 🫡
